1. Draw and label the "setup" for our bicycle lab.
2. Describe your role during this experiment and why it was important.
3. Plot your Bicycle Lab below. Be sure to include:
Proper titles for the graph and each axis.
Properly scaled axes.
Units for each axis.
A best fit line representing each trip.
4. Was the motion of each trip "uniform?" Explain by defining in everyday terms what "uniform motion" might mean. How do your graphs provide support for your answer?
5. Calculate the slope of your best fit lines. Show your calculations. Label the slopes on your graph. Be sure to include the correct units on your final answers!
6. Based on our discussion in class, what is the definition of velocity? How does this definition relate to a position vs time graph for a particular trip?
7. Decide which trip was the fastest. Based on your calculations and what you know about describing motion, provide evidence for your answer.
8. Fill in the Venn Diagram with qualities that speed and velocity have. Place the qualities that speed and velocity share where the circles connect and the qualities that they don't share in the space that the circles do not connect.
Speed Velocity
9. What other activity could you design a similar experiment around? Use key terms.
